Our family is in decline

After the team walked out of the temporary shelter, they were immediately teleported into a strange space. Under the strange light, there was a chaotic scene. As far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of things floating in the air, and even further away was a chaos, with only a small space under their feet to provide support.

What was even more troublesome was that everyone under the light was affected. It was hard to say whether it was negative or positive, but they all felt pressure.

Lance had just identified some information about the Deep Diver Bay from the remaining wreckage, and the space here was turbulent, revealing the enemy.

The familiar features of the Deep Diver appeared, the hideous fish head, the fish scales covered with mucus, and the webbed hands and feet.

The deep-sea warrior carrying a whale hunting spear and holding a rusty slasher, the deep-sea guard holding a squid shield and a fist blade, and of course the deep-sea shaman holding a sea urchin staff.

"Damn it, it's the Deep Ones!"

"Why are they here?"

Amanda and Alhazred have both seen the Deep Ones, or at least participated in the battle when they attacked the port.

So they don't understand why the monsters that should be in the sea are here.

"I don't care!" Boudica raised her axe and shouted, "Shark, shark, shark!"

Indeed, now is not the time to say these things, because the deep-sea shaman has already taken action, waving the sea urchin staff at Alhazred.

Suffocating waves!

That is the hostility of the same caster. The strange power from the deep sea fell on the scholar, as if he could really hear the sound of the waves sweeping him into the sea, surrounded by seawater with nowhere to borrow, and the suffocating feeling that made it difficult to breathe.

"Woo~~!"

The sudden heavy horn sound dispelled the scholar's strangeness, as if the waves surrounding him disappeared in an instant, and he took a deep breath again. When he reacted, he found that it was the lord who took action.

Lance blew the Siren conch, directly breaking the curse constructed by the power of the deep sea, but it seemed to stimulate the shaman, who pointed at Lance and said something eagerly.

Although he didn't understand, he could roughly understand that he wanted to take back the conch, because the deep-sea warriors around him rushed up immediately.

War rhythm!

Lance blew the conch hard, and the shocking and magnificent sound instantly aroused their fighting enthusiasm, sweeping away the complex emotions that were in chaos.

Even the body was sprouting a new power to sweep away the fatigue and strengthen the state in all aspects.

You are strengthened, hurry up!

Boudica was naturally not afraid, and rushed back to fight. The axe blade fell on the scales covered with mucus and had no place to slide away. In the end, only a white mark was left. Instead, the deep-sea warrior swung the blade in his hand and chopped it over.

Deep-sea slash!

God knows whether they were suppressed or the enemy was strengthened. The strength of these deep divers is not weak at all. Boudica did not dare to reveal the flaws and could only chop.

The flying knife thrown by Amanda was also slipped by the mucus and fish scales and could not penetrate the armor. Then the deep-sea warrior took out the weapon on his back and threw it out.

Whale hunting spear hook!

Amanda cursed in her heart, swung the long whip and pulled the hook spear out of thin air, deviating from the target and stabbing it directly into the ground. If there was no armor, wouldn’t it be pierced through at once?

It was a bit troublesome, because their methods did not have any damage to penetrate the armor, but here, both the shrunken monster and the current deep divers have armor.

However, the hard power is here. Boudica quickly noticed that the fish scales at the chin of the deep divers were weak. She directly raised her spear tip and broke through the scales and penetrated deep into the brain, instantly crushing its vitality.

Amanda threw the flying knife backhand and directly inserted it into the eye socket of another warrior. As long as it is a living thing, there will be weaknesses, and I have seen through it!

On the other side, Alhazred was not easy to bully. After being hit by a move, he directly cast a spell at the deep-sea shaman to fight it.

At the same time, after Boudica killed the warrior who blocked her way, she wanted to rush forward and kill the shaman. It was a law that spellcasters should be dealt with first in battle.

However, the deep-sea guard next to the shaman raised a large squid shield and pushed forward.

Coral barrier!

Under the protection of the ritual constructed by the power of the deep sea, the curse was transferred to the guard, and the shaman naturally could not watch, so he waved his staff and cast a spell.

Call of the deep sea!

The call from the deep sea strengthened the strength of the guard. Even if he did not get rid of the curse, he was not afraid of Boudica who came up, and swung the fist blade in his hand fiercely.

Giant squid fist blade!

The fist blade collided with the axe gun, and Boudica's figure was directly repelled a few steps before he stabilized his figure.

However, a more terrible situation occurred, that is, the bodies of the two deep-sea warriors killed before actually underwent crystal distortion, and crystal clusters grew from them.

Isn't this thing only for shrunken monsters? Why did the body of the deep diver become like this?

Amanda reacted quickly, took out an axe and rushed forward to chop off the crystal to stop further changes.

At this time, new monsters emerged from the space again. Those deep-sea warriors seemed to have strayed in by mistake. They were confused for a moment, but were soon attracted to join the battle.

Lance watched them fighting in a group, and even vaguely felt that they were being dragged. He realized that this strange place could not be dragged on any longer...

And he finally took action himself, raised his hand and moved the amazingly long two-handed sword [Bloody Blade] transformed from the devil's resentment into his hand, and just walked forward and made a simple flat stab.

There were no fancy fighting skills, nor exaggerated sharpness, just strong power and a blade that could withstand his power.

The tip of the sword easily pierced through the fish scale armor and then, as Lance raised his hand, the pierced deep-sea warrior was lifted up. Only then did the guy react and tried to struggle, but the tip of the sword pierced through him instead. His body slid towards Lance, and he was so scared that he subconsciously tried to grab the blade with his hand.

At this time, Lance paused for a moment, because he realized that the power of the blade had been activated.

The runes carved with blood on the sword body seemed to be activated, emitting a faint fluorescence that was very evil, and at the same time, it seemed to be drawing the blood of the deep diver and gathering in the blood groove.

"So you can bleed too..."

It didn't matter whether the deep-sea warrior could understand it, because Lance waved his hand while speaking, and the guy was thrown out, and the wound was instantly cut open. When the blade left the body, half of the deep-sea warrior's body was cut open from the inside.

Just a casual sword killed a deep-sea warrior. Lance's strength was still strong even if he was affected.

At the same time, this sword also foreshadowed that Lance joined the battle!

It was a sword skill that was extremely simple. The deep diver was slashed before he could even react. The few who just showed their heads were directly killed by Lance, and walked to the guard who was still entangled with Boudica.

Lance kicked out fiercely, and the terrifying power burst made the guard unable to hold the shield, and even the lower body of the tentacle could not bear it, and directly repelled the guy.

Breaking the shield with one kick, and then swinging the sword to slash, the next second the guard's ugly head like a blobfish was split open and died directly.

Then the deep-sea shaman wanted to do something, but the deep-sea evil magic fell on Lance and was useless. He was just chopped in half by a casual sword.

Just now, the team was still struggling, but Lance's attack ended in just a moment. This is the difference in strength.

Lance was about to sacrifice the bodies of the deep divers for testing, but after killing the deep-sea shaman, no more monsters appeared in the illusory space, but a green fluorescent egg appeared again.

Transcend time and space!

It was that move again, suddenly appeared and then directly launched, and the power it exploded made everyone cross time and space again.

When they came to their senses, they returned to the familiar dilapidated warehouse again, and what was even more terrifying was that the place that was supposed to be rummaged through by them was actually restored to its original state as it was when they first met.

This thing is too scary...

"Back again, how did you do it?"

"Are we in some kind of trouble?"

"We are lost in time and space!"

Returning to this place again brought huge pressure to everyone, because it meant that they had not walked out of here.

This reminded Lance of some horror games that like this set, defeating the victim's psychology by repeating scenes.

But this was not enough to make Lance fall into despair, because it was still a little different.

"Look what this is."

After Lance's words, everyone soon found a basket of fruits and vegetables in the warehouse. What does a basket of fresh fruits and vegetables mean here?

"There was no such thing before."

"It looks like it was freshly picked."

"How could it be under the erosion of the crystal?"

Although he said so, even the most reckless Boudica did not dare to touch this thing. Who knows what will happen.

Lance observed and suddenly reached out to pick up a fruit. He could easily feel the breath of life contained in it, just like those crystals.

"It has been eroded by the power of the crystal, but we have to try to determine what effect it has."

Lance said this, but even he did not try it. Instead, he took the basket of fruits and vegetables away and looked around.

"Change is vitality. As long as we find the rules, we can't be trapped here. I have some guesses, but more research is needed."

The calm words and confident attitude comforted everyone. The team took a short break and soon walked out of the temporary shelter again.

This time, there was no dazzling brilliance, but they returned to the farm, and their position also changed, closer to the mill in the middle.

"I'm back again, the space is overlapping, no wonder..."

Lance murmured to himself, and the shrunken monster in the farm had already moved because of their appearance.

But this time, after collecting enough information, Lance no longer hid behind and fished like before, but walked up with a sword.

The so-called petrified body was nothing in front of brute force. Whether it was the farm worker or the foreman, they could not withstand his sword that cut into the crystal, and they didn't even have the chance to deform.

The invisible scarecrow was split by him casually, and the plow horse that trampled on him had its head cut off, and the broken crystals actually flowed out a blood-like viscous and fluorescent fluid.

The interesting thing is that the thing contains a strong vitality, and humans can actually heal injuries after contacting it. This discovery made Lance collect some, but he did not stop.

The elegant gesture of waving the sword like strolling in the garden deeply shocked the others. The fear they had originally had about this place quickly faded, and they quickly followed the Lord's pace and attacked the shrunken monsters.

Soon after advancing a distance and killing a lot of shrunken monsters, a green crystal monster appeared on the field.

This time, after being prepared, Lance finally caught a suspicious breath.

But the target was still lost in the next second, and when they reacted, they were back in the familiar warehouse again.

Only this time, what was inside was not crystals or fruits and vegetables, but a shell monster.

This made Boudica subconsciously raise the ax blade to chop down.

"Don't move yet." Lansti's sword blocked the slash and also stopped the restless people.

The petrified body is the same as those of the flat-shell monsters, but it is also broken into large pieces. It can only be vaguely seen as a woman, but the fluorescence emitted from the cracks is dark purple, and it also shows a restrained appearance. I have never encountered it before. .

It can be seen from the preserved face that it seemed to have suffered extreme pain during its lifetime, but it did not seem to be hostile to the intruding Lance and others, and did not attack like other flat shell monsters.

This is also the reason why Lance stopped them. This is probably related to breaking the situation.

After looking around twice, I couldn't feel anything strange. I could only feel the strong emotion emanating from her.

"This woman is in pain..."

Lance stretched out his hand to touch the statue-like shell monster, and this time it caused a burst of dazzling light. The crystal did not grow out, but converged, and disintegrated from the inside as if it was freed.

This scene happened too fast. By the time they reacted, the petrified body had shattered and then turned into dust and disappeared.

Only Lance, who had touched the thing just now, understood that at that moment he seemed to hear some obsession to "save him".

A disturbing exchange…

"Alas! What is this?"

Just when Lance frowned slightly and recalled the feeling of that moment, the discovery of his companions woke him up.

Following Amanda's prompts, Lance picked up the necklace that fell on the ground. It was quite exquisite in shape. When he opened the flap, he could see a photo of a bearded man wearing a high hat.

There is also a name engraved on the flip cover-Miller.

There is also a name on the back of the necklace - Mildred.

Who is Miller? Lance had read his ancestor's diary and knew that the miller's name was Miller, so there was no doubt that Mildred should be Miller's wife.

There is no doubt that the situation is very clear. Mildred was in great pain due to the erosion of the crystal. Her body may have been destroyed, but her soul was still awake, so she suffered this endless pain.

It was the power of love that allowed her to resist the control of the crystal, so she did not attack them. However, her last remaining obsession actually begged the visitors to save her husband. (End of chapter)
